Florida Gators sophomore wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland has been a burgeoning star and big-play threat for the Gators practically since his enrollment in 2016. Now, for the first time, it seems he’ll miss a game due to injury: Florida’s Jim McElwain told reporters in his Monday press conference that Cleveland will be “out, or expected to be out” for Saturday’s game with LSU, and perhaps longer, with a high ankle sprain.
McElwain revealed that Cleveland is in “a boot” — likely a walking boot to stabilize his sprained ankle — but also joked that the high ankle sprain, typically an injury that takes up to a month to heal, would keep Cleveland out until spring practice, so it’s hard to say his prognosis is fully medically accurate.
